Florida Keys Real Estate Company

Hi! My name is Amanda Garcia and I am a third generation REALTOR in Key West, Florida. I work alongside my grandparents and my mother. The four of us make up The Taporowski Team as part of Florida Keys Real Estate Company.
I have lived in the Florida Keys most of my life and am proud to call this string of Islands home. I met my husband here and we are raising our son, a 7th generation "Conch" as we call anyone born in Key West, here in the Keys.
Since the Spring of 2015, I have been a licensed REALTOR and a part of the Key West Association of REALTORS. Let me help you find your Island dream home, today!

With 21 years of experience, all in the Key West area, you can bet I can guide you through this unusual market. Many buyers also have me provide property management on their homes until such time as they are ready to move here permanently. My profession is full-time seven days a week, if necessary, and, if possible, no question will go unanswered. I am currently serving on the local REALTOR Board of Directors as the RPAC Chairperson. See Additional Info below.

As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next HomeYou need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a HomeWhen it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling TacticsOftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.

After 26 years of serving our nation as a Coast Guard Officer, Jim has put his real estate experience and years of proven honor and integrity to work as a Realtor in the Florida Keys. Jim first fell in love with Key West and the lower keys as a small child, visiting often with his family, and feels strongly that real estate in the keys is a product he can stand behind. Having recently purchased his own piece of paradise, Jim is ready to help others find one for themselves. Since that property was a short-sale in the Casa Marina district, he learned a tremendous amount about short-sales, first-hand. Whether you're looking for waterfront property, or a great little Old Town cottage, Jim can help you. With beautiful condos on the beach, canal homes and quiant villas nestled all over the island, Key West has a lot of great properties to offer, be it your primary residence, second home or investment property. From the Meadows to Truman Annex, New Town to Solares Hill, Key West has a place for you.
And if you're a government employee or military member, after 26 years, Jim knows how the government and military work, and can help both active-duty and retired members find a home and put their VA loan benefits to work.
